Has anyone done the Lower Blue at 550 cfs in a oar rig raft? It's a 13 ft. I have heard that there is a very hard put in and you had to scrap or repel your boat in the water. Any info would be great. Thanks.

In my 16 foot cat. Boney in the canyon for sure, you'll be doing some work on the oars....but the fishing at that level is great. Bring a climbing rope or similar for the put-in. It is the most difficult part of the run for sure, lower it from a belay device or off the ball of your truck. I would not recommend it any lower than this however, as you will be floating through private land that is a definite no trespass zone (no stopping to take a leak, no shoving off rocks, no oars touching the bottom). Have fun !!

Will and all,
If you're still checking MountainBuzz before you head up tonight, we're bumping up releases. This evening, there should be around 700 cfs or so in the Lower Blue. So, Will, if you guys are still planning on going, maybe the 700 levels would be better.
